So I'm in the market for a truck. This thing will be a work horse that I would dress it up with some wheels and maybe an intake.
When I say work horse, I mean Tire Service Vehicle. Roughly about 2000lbs of tools will always sit on it and then you can add about another 1000lbs of tires (8-10 tires) that needs to fit in the bed of it too.
My Father scored a great deal on a 2010 Tundra that never sold with 163km and got it for pretty much cost price with full warranty as if it was a 2012. The Tundra is a single cab and a 8 foot box. It has a 5.7L gas sucker but it has more than enough balls to haul what I need to hauled.
Now I really like the 2012 Tundra in white with the double cab. But fuel is a problem. She is a beast at the pumps with the rear end being 4:30 gears!!
So I was also looking at the F-150. Only thing is though the F-150 is butt ugly and pricy for nothing. If you want the 8 foot box you have to get the heavy duty axles which give you the hardest bolt pattern of a 7 Bolt hub. Only one wheel I know is made for it from Ford and it sucks. Any aftermarket wheels found and you are looking at 400+ per wheel. Not worth it...
This is what the truck will look with the tools on.
